Allianz Sweeper Company Vice President, Walter Pusic, states in the press release, "This was not easy, and other manufacturers have had little positive outcome or success in capturing the correct technology blend to actually make it happen. Allianz Sweeper Company has been aggressive and diligent to incorporate current state-of-the-art electric hybrid technology to successfully accomplish our stringent goals to provide the industry with this incredible machine with no-compromise. It is time to make a difference, and the Allianz 4000 Electric Hybrid is the game changer."
Allianz, one of the world's leading producers of specialized cleaning equipment, announced in a press release today its introduction of the world’s first purpose-built electric hybrid street sweeper - the Allianz 4000 Electric Hybrid. The company says the sweeper--combined with up to 40% in fuel savings--significantly reduces emissions and noise levels; can travel speeds up to 60 mph; and results in reduced maintenance costs for users. Allianz is affiliated with US Hybrid, a CALSTART member company, a partnership which was instrumental in the development of this first-of-its-kind vehicle. [MORE]
